If you're thinking about metal roofing for your Thayer home, here's the math: metal costs more upfront ($12-$22 per square foot versus $4-$8 for shingles), but metal lasts 2-3 times longer, cuts cooling costs 15-25%, and has virtually no maintenance. Over a 50-year span, metal is the cheaper option.
Our Metal Roofing Process
Free Estimate
We discuss your goals, show you panel and color samples, and help you choose the right metal system for your Thayer home. Standing seam, corrugated, or metal shingle. Each has different aesthetics, costs, and performance characteristics.
Custom Panel Fabrication
Your panels, clips, trim, and flashing fabricated to spec. Materials staged at your Thayer property the day before installation. Everything verified against the project scope before install day.
Expert Installation
Installation by our dedicated metal crew, not a shingle crew with a metal job on the side. These installers do metal roofing every week. Seams are tight, transitions are clean, and every penetration is properly flashed.
Inspection & Warranty
Final inspection, cleanup, and warranty registration. Your metal roof is the last roof your Thayer home will ever need. We stand behind it with both manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
